There is a pair of bald eagles with a nest near me and they have been ruining my crow hunts lately. After a few minutes of calling they'll start circling and bye bye crows! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hunted the "brush" my whole life and I don't know a single person that hunts with a 45-70, slugs or 30-06 with 220gn bullets. I'm the only one that I know of that use's a 35 rem. Most everyone I knows that hunts the "brush" uses 30-06, 270 or 308. The theory on a brush caliber simply doesn't work in real life. If a bullet of any size/weight hits a substantial branch it will most likely not hit where it was intended. The distance between the object and the target has way more to do with the outcome than the projectile or what it came from. By your theory an arrow should be the best for shooting through brush it's heavy slow and big but I have had arrows deflected by many feet from branches I couldn't even see.

This is what's awesome about hunting there are a million ways to skin a cat. I have closets full of guns that I consider "brush guns" because most of my hunting is done still hunting/tracking in the big woods. Short fast shots are the norm. If I'm shooting at a running deer and I hit a twig I don't plan on that shot making it to the intended target that's why there will be another one on its way in a quick hurry! There has been study after study and there is no such thing as a "brush cartridge" because after the bullet hits brush you have no idea where it's going. If I was doing a drive through the swamp behind the house my gun choice would be a lot different than a gun I'm going to be toting for 10 miles on a day when I'm hunting the ADK's but they would both be "brush guns." I like and agree with the theory of using an accurate small caliber round with a scope as a brush gun and one day if I ever become a better tracker and get more chances at shooting deer that are still in their beds I might switch to something like that but it sure is hell trying to find that hole when you jumped the buck 15ft from you that's hauling ass for the next county. Until then I want to shoot a cartridge that's capable of sending a bullet from hooter to tooter or tooter to hooter and any angle in between of a deer giving me an entrance and an exit hole. In a gun and hats capable of fast follow up shots. If the weather is nice I would way rather have a low power scope with as close to a true 1X as possible. Flip up caps are nice and I have them on every scope I own but flipping caps open aren't something I want to spend time doing so if it's raining or snowing or if there's snow on the brush I carry a gun with a peep.

Typical democratic fashion, they are so far out of touch of reality that they honestly think the only way they can win is to go the celebrity route. Don't tell them but I think the only female that has a chance in 2020 for the Democratic Party would be Michele Obummer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's funny different some of our ideas of a brush gun are. To me a brush gun is a gun that is going to be carried for long distances and be used on short range shots. I wouldn't be caught dead hunting these conditions with a 9 or 10lb shotgun like some of you do. I'm sure many of you come from shotgun zones of years past and old habits die hard.

No, and I sure as hell wouldn't post a video if I did! I killed a deer with a glock 40cal and wasn't happy with the results of that either. My glock 10mm on the other hand is bad medicine with the right load. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm getting it, I would be more pissed if my neighbor called and bothered me over 8ft! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Either this old 760 in 35rem with a 16" tube or a 7600P that I had rebored to 358win both have peeps or if I'm feeling froggy I'll carry this 454casull Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Top pic is a 100yd group from my hand loads. My hand loads are a 275gn Barnes triple shock at a little over 2400fps. It's a very hot load but shoots under an inch if I do my part. Honestly I'm not a huge fan of the gun. It's cheap and feels it, stock sucks and trigger was awful! I put a timiny trigger on it and it helped. I wish they would make a 2 round mag so the mag didn't hang out the bottom because it makes it a pain to carry. I bought mine for Ohio and it will be fine for 1 week a year but I certainly wouldn't buy one for my main deer rifle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

By definition I wouldn't think so, I know I don't harvest any of my plots and I think harvesting is an essential part of "Ag." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck with the new gig Biz! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There has been many many times that I have been in the Adirondacks on a track when I had no idea where I was but i have always been able to figure out about where I was and I always had a compass and had an idea what direction the road was so I don't know if that is lost or not.

Bucks around me rarely have eye guards. We have shot a bunch of 3 and 4 year old 6's and 7's on the home farm that won't score 110"s But in the last few years we are starting to get more bucks with eye guards and longer tines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mil dots are one of those things that don't carry over very well from military to hunting. People are generally a vertical target. If your off by 10 or 15 inches in elevation it still a hit and most of the time a hit is more effective than a kill on the battle field "both emotionally and physically, your buddy going down and screaming is harder to deal with then him going in a heap and others generally will atempt to help him taking them out of the fight as well. For the most part the military doesn't use the mil dots for shooting more for range estimation "for range cards and forward observation duties such as calling for indirect fire." If a sniper has time on a shot outside of his zero he will dope his scope, especially on a high value target or a target that is an imminent threat. As has been said mil dots can work but there a much better tools for the job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To answer your question yes it can be done the way you're thinking it can. BUT... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was this year shot a doe in Ohio with a Lyman deerstalker flint lock. It was fun but I don't see myself using one again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a lab Great Dane one of my favorite dogs I have had. Smart, great with the baby and a huge lapdog that lived to be me fishing and hunting. She would retrieve geese 2 at a time. A weird combo but if they are all like she was its a heck of a good mix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still only get about 14". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ain't that the truth although I know of at least one rifle that you own that would put a smile on any man's face. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh I have a bunch of rifles that make me happy. I love pre 2000's 7600's that's why I have so many of them. I'm also pretty fond on my carbine BAR's that I had rebored to 358 Winchester and 35whelen, my Benelli r1 in 30-06 isn't too shabby either with its barrel cut to 18". I have a place in my heart for my savage 99's by far my favorite lever guns of all time. My Ruger 44mag carbines get woods time every year because they are so fun to shoot and a joy to tote. I have a few bolts that see the woods every year but usually not when I'm serious about killing my buck. A Tikka t3 that I cut the barrel down to about 18" and had rebored to 35whelen is my early season gun because it so light and nice to carry my custom shop model 7 in 358win that I want to love but have never really warmed up to usually sees the woods at least once a year. But when it gets to be around the 16th of November and There's some snow in the Adirondacks it will be a pump Remington in my hands if it's still snowing it will be my 7600Police with a 16" barrel that was rebored to 358win with a XS ghost ring peep and trijicon front post and if it's not snowing it will be my 35whelen carbine with a 1-5X vx3 leupy. Hell to be honest about all rifles make me happy to shoot but when it comes to toting them for the day the list gets a lot shorter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got 2 #1's way too heavy for me to ever hunt with but gorgeous guns for sure. Probably have 15 other single shot centerfires rifles. I was in a single shot craze for a few years but they aren't really my cup of tea either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have probably 25 bolt guns but they're boring and I don't like hunting with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A competent gunsmith can make them very good the 36whelen I hunt with most has a 3.9lb trigger that is very clean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
